What is the fetal movement during the seventh month of pregnancy?

In fact, abnormal fetal movement is very stressful for expectant mothers, but you should relax and be in a good mood in normal times, which is better for your fetus. Let us now understand the fetal movement in the seventh month of pregnancy.

The normal number of fetal movements in 12 hours is 30 or more. If it is less than 20 times, it means that the fetus may be abnormal in the uterus. If it is less than 10 times, it means that the fetus is suffering from hypoxia in the uterus and you should go to the hospital quickly. If you cannot do it three times a day, you can count the fetal movements once every night between 6 and 10 o'clock. Fetal movements greater than or equal to 3 times per hour are normal. If the fetal movement is less than 3 times per hour or is half the usual amount, or the fetal movement is suddenly frequent, you should continue counting for another hour. If there is still no improvement, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.

Throughout the pregnancy, fetal movement changes from none to something, from little to much, and then from much to little. It has been reported that at 18 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus makes an average of 206 large and small movements per day; this reaches a peak at 28 to 32 weeks of pregnancy, reaching 570 times per day: after 32 weeks, the fetus gradually occupies space in the uterus, and its movements are significantly restricted. Although restricted, he can still occasionally deliver a powerful blow. When the baby's head hits the muscles of the pelvic floor, you will feel a sudden and heavy blow.

In addition to exercising and coordinating your growing muscles, your fetus may also be changing position or moving because your sitting or standing position is uncomfortable for him. Of course, maybe the baby just wants to change his position so that he can suck his fingers happily.

By the early stages of delivery, fetal movements decrease to about 280 times a day. This is because the amniotic fluid decreases in the late stage, the space for fetal movement decreases, and the fetal head descends into the pelvis. However, expectant mothers cannot feel every movement of the fetus. Only movements of the fetus that last for more than 20 seconds are easily detected. Slight movements cannot be felt. Therefore, in reality, within 12 hours during the day, expectant mothers can usually only feel it about 30 to 50 times.

The above article gives you a detailed introduction to the fetal movements in the seventh month of pregnancy. I believe everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding, so in daily life, expectant mothers should learn more about this knowledge, which will be better for their fetuses.
